Elevating Stephen Miller—one of the primary architects of Trump's cruel and inhumane immigration policies, from child separation to the ICE raids terrorizing communities—to White House Chief of Staff shows just how out of touch the President is with the American people he's supposed to represent.
The American people want cheaper gas, groceries, and health care. Trump wants to waste BILLIONS on ego-fueled monuments to himself. America REJECTED his families lose, billionaires win vision and a judge BLOCKED Trump’s arch. I’ll keep fighting against these ego projects.
On Tuesday, the American people sent a resounding message: We need to make life affordable for families, not line the pockets of billionaires. We need to tackle corruption. We need to open the doors of opportunity to all. Let's get to work.
Across the country, the American people are sending a clear message, resoundingly rejecting the Trump and Republican “families lose, billionaires win” agenda. We have our marching orders: restore an America where families thrive and billionaires pay their fair share.
Trump and his Dirty Oil CEO buddies are making a fortune—while you get gouged. With Trump, it’s families lose and billionaires win. I’m fighting for a vision where families thrive and billionaires pay their fair share.
I joined @wyden.senate.gov, @repbonamici.bsky.social, local leaders, and providers to discuss how we can reimagine health care to improve quality and slash costs for every Oregonian. Healthy people are more important than healthy profits—these conversations will help shape the future of health care.

The Egyptian government continues its assault on independent journalism, this time shuttering Mada Masr and targeting Editor-in-Chief Lina Attalah. We must forcefully condemn attacks on the free press whenever and wherever they happen.
Great to be back at the Oregon Coast Economic Summit to talk about the crucial role our coastal communities play in Oregon—and how we can work together to keep growing and strengthening coastal economies.

Americans are getting gouged at the gas pump—but Trump’s Dirty Energy CEO pals are RAKING in cash. They’re profiting from Trump’s war of choice with Iran, and we’re left holding the bag. I’m fighting to end Trump’s illegal war and bring down costs.
Here’s what we should be spending $1.8 billion on: 600+ million school lunches Salaries for 27,000+ new teachers School supplies for 10.5 million kids for a year Not on Trump’s ego-fueled vanity projects. He’s wasting our tax dollars on himself.
Dolores Huerta leaves behind a rich legacy of helping farmworkers win landmark labor protections, securing protections for immigrants, and mentoring a new generation of leaders. The world is better because of her work—my heart is with her loved ones and community navigating the grief of this loss.
Great to speak at the Oregon Building Trades convention. The future belongs to nations that invest in infrastructure—and members of the Oregon Building Trades Union are building America’s future!
